Chatroom Renewed! Suggestions Wanted!

Make zillion times more fast.
Don't allow such people as LauraMay to enter

 

I'd like to see what the conversation was

...before I interrupt it

I hate just blindly entering

 

Make the screen bigger!

A selection of new *fart* sounds that represents the true diversity of farting would be nice, maybe one for pumps, one for trumps and the existing farty one.

Employ a robot lynzxx to provide lulzies in her abcense.

Make it so that everyone is called 'Ian'

 

I'd like to be able to have the scrolling of text be more fluid and less choppy. Java chat systems take a lot of memory and often crash, and people log out, log on often, so if you could condense somehow the logging of those updates, that would be cool.

What I mean is when someone logs in you see a large space for this in the text, ex:



The actual chat box should be modified to be wider, longer so that the viewer can see more chat. People tend to type one word sentences, and so a longer window frame for more chat would be nice.

It would be neat to allow script writing. That way when someone insults another member in conversation and needs a warning, the mods can simply hit a shift + character to run off a quick warning. It would be the same warning, consistently, so that everyone will be accustomed to the rules there. Or we can even hit a shift + character when someone wants to know the rules of the Chatroom, we can easily link to the Forum Guidelines with script writing, etc.

Also, I really want to use the tab complete option. Some people have really complicated usernames, and in order to have their name highlighted (or to have a sound go off, possibly with a new feature?!) so that we get the person's attention, you should be able to easily tab complete their name.

i'd like to know when you're instant messaging someone, when they message you back maybe with a sound or blinking lol

 

more smileys!

 

More explosions!

 

More text colours would be nice.

 

pretty please??

 

I'd like the "away" thing to switch back automatically after a post...like the user marks themselves as away but when they come back it shows as "online" as soon as they make a new post

I always forget to switch it when I come back

 

:S please don't make it too complex...

us people with old computers won't be able to use it anymore! haha my computers from 1999, and the forums/chatroom run smoothly as they are. any serious upgrades though would probably put me (and anyone else using an older computer) out of business, and this would make me very sad

 

my computer is newer and fast...I want every feature enabled

 

I hope this is a joke.

 

It must not be....my jokes get deleted from this thread...so we have to assume if it was a joke....it would have been deleted also

 

I only like chat when she is there.

Anyhoo...I wish I could "chat" while behind the firewall at work.

 

Thank you for thinking about chat, Skip.

Like BBAD suggested, maybe if the "away" could be taken away when you post? And even if the "away" could appear if you haven't posted in awhile.

Different rooms would be good.

I don't see the point of UK chat. Even Gay chat, for that matter. I appreciate Love chat being there, for the people interested in cybering. It makes it easy for us not to be affected or offended by their "A/S/L" tendencies.

Don't get me wrong, though. I love how there are multiple rooms. I just think they could have different names.

An easy way to make sure you get someones PM as soon as it appears is to close the PM box.. As harsh as that sounds. If the person is taking a long time to reply it's easy to forget about them..

But I definitely agree. A flashing would be good.
But bad for people who you want to ignore haha.

So do I...

Hushbull, I hardly see you in chat anyway.

I think someone just wants another sandwich.

Aww thanks odon. I like to see your pretty lil username in there also.

 

Pretty? Macho more like.

 

More font options so that chat is easier to follow would be nice . I also agree with other's suggestions or creating something to make pm's easier to keep track of, like lighting up or flashing when a new message is posted.

More emoticons would be a nice feature as well, but I think font options and PM's are more important and make chat more user friendly.
